Cream Legbar Working Group: Standard of Perfection

[Ashdoes]

Wouldn't the hens size need to be 'scaled' to the size increase of the rooster?  A 9 - 10 lb rooster on a 4 - 5 (or 6) lb hen sounds like a bummer for the hen.  He could break her, or seriously hurt her, couldn't he?

Actually you're right. My LF Cochin boys tore up my Wyandotte girls backs.
Either way, I think it would be pretty hard to make these birds a lot bigger, without breeding in a different breed. I'll be sticking with what I have, and ignore the rest of this discussion.

I think someone needs a hug and maybe a nappy time.

But I already had a nappy time in order to stay up to watch The Ball drop!

I could use a hug though ...

AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! Many happy hatches in 2014!

Off to enjoy some bubbly...

Ok different topic if you are interested in this question at all: Merlin's daughters all had crooked toes. I'm very disappointed. Thinking about culling all of them out of the genetic mix. Elvis's line doesn't have this problem. Should I bother testing the cross of these bad toed girls with Elvis? They should have nice blue eggs.

dont worry about that.. as proven by BlackBird you can improve on color always.... keeping a good creast, size and type and blue eggs is first...
